Peter Eastgate joins Team Betfair Poker

Wednesday, 22 February 2012

2008 WSOP champion Peter Eastgate has become the newest member of Betfair Poker’s team of sponsored pros. The former Main Event winner and PokerStars pro took a short retirement from poker recently but now he is back.

“I had a 10-month hiatus where I didn’t play poker, then felt the lust to play again,” Eastgate said. “I still enjoy the game and there’s still a lot of challenges to the game. I’m not by any means the best player in the world, so there’s a lot of challenges.”

Eastgate joins John Tabatabai and Hans Martin Vogl in the Ongame site’s team of sponsored pro players.

Join them at the Betfair Poker tables with a first deposit bonus of up to $2,500. Sign up here.
